Like someone else pointed out, it would be ideal to be able to delete reports (or at a minimum ssn information).

The site looks nice and clean. After running a report on myself, I noticed it said for a minute or so that my ssn was incorrect before it changed to stating it was cleared.

Also, while the national check for me came back clear (as expected), I was curious if that was literally all the report said. I would love to see more detailed reporting underlying the results. Obviously if it doesn't say anything more than "clear" or "no results" or something, then this probably wouldn't be useful.

Pricing-wise, I think it is somewhat fair and were I a bigger company with an HR group, you would be a solid candidate as a vendor.

As a follow-up, is your privacy policy industry consistent? For a group disclaiming any warranty over storage of personal information, it seems that much more vital that customers would have a way to manually delete and/or auto-purge the records so that we can minimize risk.
please email daniel at checkr.io and we will delete your SSN and personal data.

This is a light version of a background check (since we have to pay for it). Our pricing page references packages with extensive screenings and results.

Isn't the point of the test to get exactly what I can expect as a result as a paying customer? Otherwise, what am I really validating?

I will happily email daniel for deleting the personal data. While that works well for a HN comment thread, I still think it shouldn't require interaction on your part.

thanks for your feedback, we will add the ability to delete an account and all related data in our product.
